First day of CTIA Wireless 2007 here in Orlando. I spent the afternoon between the S60 device showcase in the Nokia stand and the S60 table in the Symbian stand. The place was packed, had a lot of traffic and a lot of interest in S60. Although the questions were very polarizing - It was either, "What exactly *is* S60?" or something like, "I'm a developer and I'm wonder if Feature Pack 1 has an API to support custom video drivers" ...and nothing in between.
We have some nice S60-branded goodies to giveaway. S60 candy, S60 screenwipes, S60 keychain holder thingys, and S60 notepads. Usually people just grab one, but Dan Shugrue had a great idea - After someone took one, he asked, "What are you going to say when people see that [goodie] and ask what S60 is?" It was a great way to break the ice.
Took some photos throughout the day, you can find them in Flickr. Also took a quick video, more videos to come tomorrow. G'Night!
Welcome to CTIA 2007!

It's sad to hear that many of the attendees don't know what S60 is. Sad but quite telling of what the market is like here...
Posted by: Ed | March 28, 2007 08:28 AMNo one has heard of Symbian or S60 because no Symbian or S60 product actually has these brands anywhere on the casing, box or user interface.
Everyone's heard of Windows because it says "Windows" on the screen when you start up a Windows PC.
